New release of cjklib with dictionary support

We would like to announce the new 0.3 release of cjklib, a Python-based programming library providing higher-level support of Chinese characters, also called Han characters.

My thesis is finally printed and now also available as PDF. It is called Detecting Code-Switch Events Based on Textual Features and focuses on the detection of Code-Switching between English and Mandarin Chinese. I already found a typo, but I'd keep it with the Latin proverb, errare humanum est :)

This blog entry provides a nice mix of transliterations, C++, cjklib, ICU and language bindings in Python.

I hope you forgive me for letting this blog start with a rant into the new year. But this topic actually has bothered me for some time now, so I'll hope you will bear with me.

So it is official. I graduated and can now call myself a "Dipl. Inform.", the German equivalence to a Master in Computer Science (and the minimum grade admitting you to a Ph.D. in CS). While my University (that is Karlsruhe) still keeps me busy with slight corrections of my final thesis, I at least can slowly set my mind on new things.
